Release: Guidance for Pre- and Post-Construction Monitoring to Detect Changes in Marine Bird Distributions and Habitat Use Related to Offshore Wind Energy

An expert committee of the E-TWG has released guidance for conducting pre- and post-construction monitoring to detect changes in marine bird distributions and habitat use related to offshore wind development. The committee also developed guidance for the use of existing avian survey data for site characterization purposes. These recommendations are intended to support environmental research in the U.S. Atlantic but have broad applicability to research efforts in all regions of offshore wind development. The guidance documents are available here.
